-This application is currently implemented in Nim language.
+Play videos from YouTube (and maybe other sources in the future) from the
+command line using your preferred desktop media player.
+
+This application is implemented in [Nim language](https://nim-lang.org).
+
+## Features
+

+- [ ] Download or watch videos
+- [ ] Configuration options
+
+## Usage
+
+### As a script
+
+You must have nim installed locally for this to work.

+```sh
+nim c -d:ssl -r cli_tube.nim emacs
+
+# If your search query has multiple words, use quotes
+nim c -d:ssl -r cli_tube.nim 'nim lang'
+```
+
+### Using the binary
+
+Please use the binary in the repository for now.
+Will setup GitLab CI to publish proper binaries later.
